Regular tire pressure checks and maintaining the correct pressure reduce wear and unexpected failures in the long term.

Why is the correct tire pressure important?

Safety: Low tire pressure increases braking distance, reduces grip, and can even cause aquaplaning.
Fuel efficiency: Incorrect tire pressure increases rolling resistance, leading to higher fuel consumption.
Tire lifespan: Incorrect pressure causes uneven wear, potentially leading to early tire replacement.

How to check your car's tire pressure?

1. Timing:
   It’s best to measure tire pressure in the morning or when tires are cold, as warm tires may show an artificially higher pressure.
   
   
2. Manufacturer's recommendations:
   You can find the recommended tire pressure values in your car's manual or on a sticker located on the driver's side door.
   
   
3. Steps for checking:
   
   Choose a pressure gauge: Use an accurate digital pressure gauge or a hydraulic pressure gauge.
   Remove the valve cap: Take off the valve cap and attach the gauge.
   Read the value: The current pressure will display on the device.
   Adjust: Inflate the tires to the recommended level or deflate if the pressure is too high.

What tools should you use?

The AutoAZ webshop offers a wide range of pressure measurement tools.

• Digital pressure gauges:
  Easy to use, precise, and equipped with an LCD display for quick readings.
  
  
• Portable pumps with built-in pressure gauges:
  A practical solution for on-the-go adjustments to your tire pressure.
  
  
• Gas station compressors:
  A quick solution, but for more accurate tire pressure measurements, it's recommended to use your own pressure gauge.

Additional tips for tire maintenance:

• Don’t forget the spare tire! Regularly check your spare tire's pressure to ensure it's ready for use in case of emergencies.
• Consider the weather! Cold temperatures lower tire pressure, so check them more frequently in winter.
• Before long trips: Take the time to check and adjust your tire pressure before any extended journeys.
